About Us

Symmetry Investments is a global investment company with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, New York, Jersey and Cayman Islands. We have been in business since 2014 after successfully spinning off from a major New York-based hedge fund.

At Symmetry Investments, we seek to engage in intelligent risk-taking to create value for our clients, partners and employees. We derive our edge from our capacity to generate Win-Wins - in the broadest sense. Win-Win is our fundamental ethical and strategic principle. By generating Win-Wins, we can create unique solutions that reconcile perspectives that are usually seen as incompatible or opposites, and encompass the best that each side has to offer: We integrate fixed-income arbitrage with global macro strategies in a novel way. We invent and develop technology that focuses on the potential of human-machine integration. We build systems where machines do what they do best, supporting people to do what people do best. We are creating a collaborative meritocracy: a culture where individual contribution serves both personal and collective goals - and is rewarded accordingly. We value both ownership thinking AND cooperative team spirit, self-realization AND community.

We are looking for a quant strat to assist on trading strategies, focused on FX and Rates. Primarily we are looking for someone to help with backtesting of strategies and building of trade screeners. As part of this team, you would be working with us to develop in depth knowledge of these markets and learn new trading strategies. You will also help to develop and enhance existing tools and processes. You would be working closely with portfolio managers, take ownership of projects, and contribute directly to the team's performance.
